Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): 7.1 Possession and Switching the Field (Start Time: 2018-11-05 18:05:00)

Technical - turning (10 mins)

Groups of 5, 8x8 square

Player in middle is working

Player receives pass from 1 side of square

As that is happening, player on opposite side shuffles to either red or yellow cone to be "target"

Player in middle must check shoulder to see where they should turn

Two touch MAX

Try to make as many complete passes as possible in 30 sec limit (then rotate out)

Switching the field (20 mins)

5 v 5 + 1

*if keepers are back they can be in one central goal each*

players set up in a 4-1 or 3-2 to resemble areas of field/midfield

Must get ball from zone 1 to zone 3 or vice versa before you can attack

Team that is off: watch for moments that a switch was "on"

Keys: Ensure there is still support around ball so we are not only making square passes. Check shoulder, open body position, attack the flanks.

If there is a need to manipulate this: defensive team can only occupy 2 adjacent zones at one time.

Progress:

-3 touch max in middle zone

-Must get from one zone 1 to 3 (or vice versa) in 3 passes or less
